element() brings CSS design to a new level, in an easily way. Few ideas that comes to my mind (some that I've already used since the last 4 years):
- when you have to deal with duplicated content in advanced effects
- live thumbnails of previous/next slides in a slideshow
- live zoom over an image, for example in an e-commerce product page
- animated background, using CSS Animations or by referencing a video, canvas or SVG
- faking backdrop-filter or filter()
- watermark with multiples backgrounds from Lea Verou idea
- and anything you’re currently thinking of ;)
Few things we can note:
- prefixed for now in Firefox: -moz-element()
- impact on rendering performance when using multiple reference. Not as bad as CSS filters, but still something you have to consider
- there’s a CanIUse support page
- Issue Chromium
- Issue WebKit
- No mention from IE Platform Status

One popular method to deal with this is to “Lazy Load” the images; that is, to only load the images just before the user will need to see them.
If this technique is applied to the “above the fold” content – i.e., the first average viewport-sized section of the page – then the user can get a significantly faster first view experience.
So everyone should always do this, right?
Given the potential limitations, let’s work on a solution that can handle all my concerns: a. works without JavaScript (i.e., lazy loading is an enhancement) b. vanilla js – no dependencies on jquery or angularjs c. works with broken JavaScript (i.e., the browser supports JavaScript, but there’s a js error somewhere which causes your script to break; might not even be your fault!)

If you just get started your a front-end developer career, it might be overwhelming to learn something every day.
To optimize your time, it might be useful to know solid resources, to keep up with a demanding programmers’ environment.

An alternative or Update ? Rated 5 out of 5 stars

When i write an Userstyle it is (was) the primary tool i use with Firebug.
Now i search an alternative for this great tool:
The devtool don't give us the possibility to search or test a specific CSS selector like Firepath do.
And in an other hand the DevTool is less useful than Firebug (it don't give an easy way to identify in which userstyle a CSS rule is - with an human reading way)

“Widows” and “orphans” refer to a word or line of text that is laid out on the page in a way that disturbs reading flow and the “look” of the page: most commonly, words that are left dangling at the end of paragraphs. In paginated media, this is commonly seen as end-of-paragraph words that fall onto the next page.
TRADUCTION:
"Veuves" et "orphelins" se réfèrent à un mot ou une ligne de texte qui est disposé sur la page d'une manière qui perturbe le flux de lecture et le "look" de la page: le plus souvent, les mots qui restent à la fin de paragraphes. Dans les médias paginés, ceci est généralement vu comme des mots de fin de paragraphe qui tombent sur la page suivante

A well-known dictum states that web design is 95% typography. Despite the prevalence of rich media, videos and games, people come to the web primarily to read. Making that reading experience comfortable, interesting and enjoyable is a major factor in keeping people on web sites longer and enhances their ability to retain and remember information.
Goals: Control the display of web page text to enhance communication.
Prerequisite: Color

Getting Images into Markdown Documents and Weblog Posts with Markdown Monster:
One good justification for using a rich editor for editing Markdown or a Weblog entry is that you can provide some additional features above and beyond what a simple text or code editor can provide.
When you’re creating content you are usually dealing with a number of things beyond plain text like code snippets, feature widgets and most importantly — images.
Just about any document you create is likely to include some visual content in the form of images and getting images into documents should be as quick and easy as possible.
In this post, I describe all the different ways available in Markdown Monster to add images to Markdown content.

/**
* first thing we do, is we use web fonts from google!
